note 21551 added to function.gethostbyaddr

This is also very useful if you'd like to ban these annoying people that keep spamming your forums. It requires a clever use of mySql but can be great: First, make a table for the bans, then make the query: "SELECT banReason from tBans where '". gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR) ."' LIKE banMask" If your results aren't null it means his host matched a banMask in your DB, so you can redirect him with header() to a banned.php page and prevent him from accessing any content on your page! -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21551 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21551 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21551
